I think I'd stick with Code 3...much more satisfying...next up: vader's Tie Fighter!!! WOOOOOO!!!! ;DPlo, a query.. are you planning on getting Vader's Tie Fighter[/color] from Code 3 via their official website, or through our local toy specialty outlets? It's just that I'm weighing the alternatives, not only in figuring out which one is cheaper (if at all), but also any other associated issues / problems that might arise (customs inspection, mysterious taxes, pickup & delivery etc Just want to know how you go about ordering your highly desirable Code 3 collectibles. If you think the answer to this would lead the thread off-topic, then just PM me ;D Any other collectors are welcomed to throw in their opinions too Also, anyone else planning on getting the Target Exclusive TIE Fighter[/color]? What's the ballpark retail price for it here??

Darqueside - The new large wing Tie Fighter is estimated at RM120, I believe. Could be lower. Could be slightly higher. But around that area.
As for Code 3, I've always bought directly from them. Mainly because Code 3 allows us to pay in 5 months installments. Yeah, customs tax is a b***h but what to do? Collectibles are taxable in Msia.
But if you have a good relationship with a local toy specialist, maybe you can ask them to bring it in for you.

You sure about the price est, d'zak? The price I was quoted by one of the local retailers here is easily 2.5 times that of your estimate... that's some difference Asian-HQ www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/oth002897.html puts the price @ USD59.95; which kinda makes sense once converted to MYR and factoring in shipping & taxes.. *sighs*..pricey...

Yeah, I saw Action-Hq's offer as well and was surprised. I quoted RM120 because I seem to recall the list price was USD$40 so I figured it should be around RM120 if not slightly more. I really don't know. The problem with Exclusives is that it gives the retailers a reason to jack up the price.
Speaking of new toys in town...has anyone seen the BLUE Obi wan starfighter? I havent seen it but I heard Toys R Us bought some in. Didn't see them at any TRUs, though.

[/color][/quote] Just snagged the last one from Shiok Toys. Pricey, RM139.90..Looks like its more 'Specialty Toy Shop Exclusive' then 'TRU Exclusive'... ;D
Maybe Y&C (Toys & Collectibles) in Cheras has some left?
